MSM: The Public Would Be Very Interested To Know What These Famous Penn State Graduates Think of The Child Molestation Coverups

Some went to school at Penn State for several years during the Sandusky/ Paterno/Curley/Schultz years of domination. I think each one, regardless may add other pieces to the puzzle in terms of their opinions back then re any shred of rumor they may have heard, and their current opinions now re how/ why/ who/when /where these crimes against innocent children took place on campus and in proximity to the campus.

There are several famous Alums who are in children’s programming for television, quite a few Senators and Congress-people, mostly Republicans, many moguls of large institutions whose names are recognizable to most USA populations, and significant numbers in well known sports media, and many coaches of sports and sports athletes who have excelled.

Since we have heard rather ad infinitum from the blogosphere, it would be useful and edifying to hear from people who actually know the ‘sub-cultures’ at Penn State, from having been there for many years.

In light of what has occurred at Penn State, it almost brings one to tears to hear one of their esteemed alums, Repub Senator, Congressman and VP running mate of Ronald Reagan, Richard Schweiker ’50 in an interview from “Penn State Skull House Psi Chapter, Founded 1890: “I married ‘Miss Claire’ of television’s “Romper Room”. We’ve been married for 46 years and have five children and 20 grandchildren. Our oldest son and daughter-in-law are both P.S.U. graduates. Their son is a Penn State freshman. I enjoy golf, skiing, biotech investing and watching my grandchildren play sports [that is]– football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, and baseball.”

Mainstream media, CNN, Fox, NYT, LAT, WaPo, Huffpo, ChiTrib, Christian SciMon, WSJ and others who have the resources… hope you will be asking these alumni to comment and give their opinions of what has happened here re Paterno, Sandusky, Curley and Schultz and whomever else.
